Everything You Need to Know About Electrolytes
Kentucky Equine Research
Who would think that salt is so important in a horse’s diet? Moreover, it’s not just salt but the entire spectrum of electrolytes that must be replaced when horses sweat, especially for those that sweat every day.
Horses with insufficient electrolyte concentrations in their body are at risk for earlier onset of fatigue and therefore have less stamina. Electrolyte supplements can help replace these losses for quicker recovery times and consistent performance.
